Praising God Through Pure Talent

Jon for starters this is kind of for you. Mr. Estrada, a huge role model and influence to me over the past few years has taught me many good lessons through trial and error, and just through good Christian teaching. Being a very athletic man and a major leauge scout, and the father of a very beautiful athletic girl, who i know pretty well I guess, Kalie May Estrada, it could often seem hard to people how he could praise God with all his heart, when he has so many things going his way. He knows and teaches his children, and myself, that no talent is attained without it being God's awesome will. Kalie plays for Covenant soccer, and in this her first year broke the school goal record, but who gets all the praise for that? Should it be Kalie? I would have to say God deserves the praise, and although He may not get 100% of it He does deserve all of it and more. "Use the gifts God has given and blessed you with" are words that Mr. Estrada often reminds us of. Kalie is an awesome young women, a very athletic and strong Christian, she praises God. At such a common age for people to turn from what they have been previously taught we stand firm. No matter what the subject, you will almost always find someone who gives God the deserved glory. I trust in and have Jesus as my Lord and Savior, but their is always one more step you can take in your Christian walk. I love my family, my friends, the Estadas, my church, but atop all of that is the Lord Jesus Christ, and I hope all of you can say the same. Sometimes may seem harder to trust in Him, but those are the times that if you can push through, will mean so much to your walk down the road of life. Praise the Lord for what He has done.
